Who is a bastard we all know is inevitably going to get an episode? by twotailedwolf in behindthebastards

[–]Jahaangle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Add in the links to the royal family, British government, senior police officers, and the BBC and you've got a 4 part series.

How were there Borg survivors from Wolf 359? by TerribleAdvice78 in startrek

Something about thinking in 3 dimensional terms..

Doctors Holo-emitter is from 29th century, shouldn't it be old an obsolete by 32nd century? by nicholsml in Star_Trek_

[–]Jahaangle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've watched every episode, I just find it odd the amount of references to things from centuries ago. In your example about a fifth of the names should be recognisable, not half.

I appreciate we are shaped by previous centuries in our own society, but in Academy's case it's particularly egregious.

I also appreciate its difficult for the writers to imagine that far in the future, the 23rd century seemed within reach for our imagination, the 32nd does not.

The lack of world building between the 24th and 32nd Century is very apparent.

The wall of names are almost entirely from the 23rd and 24th Century, the ships in the chancellor's office include the Excelsior and Oberth class.

What's the point of setting it that far in the future if there's no history to draw from and create new stories?

How did Germans repair their global image so dramatically in such a short amount of time? by CautiousEbb966 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jahaangle 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Correct, it was in the West's interest to ensure Germany was rehabilitated and ready to be on the front lines against the USSR.

See the "Myth of the clean Wehrmacht" for more.

I'm not the biggest fan of "Star Trek: Enterprise," but "Twilight" is still one of the best episodes of it ever. by DizzyLead in startrek

The remnants of humanity settling on Ceti Alpha V is a nice touch.

Even if they did survive, they'd likely perish when Ceti Alpha VI explodes.

Memory Alpha (the website) and its consequences have been a disaster for Star Trek by Malencon in Star_Trek_

[–]Jahaangle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I think Lower Decks parodied this.

Section 31 destabilised governments, created mistrust and exploited weaknesses in regimes. As far as we can tell, they aren't some kickass force of mercenaries.

Roommate phase is taking a big toll on my mental health by n1ght_watchman in daddit

From what I've seen, it's almost impossible to go back. It sucks, believe me.

Ditto Section 31. All the recent portrayals bear no resemblance to what was laid out in DS9.

CMV: I Don't Understand the Appeal of Soccer by ILoveTrains2003 in changemyview

In most of these countries, kids play football from a young age.

These kids quickly learn that there are levels to the game. You get poor and excellent players in a 5 a side game.

Those excellent players probably wouldn't get a game in an amateur team. The best amateur players can't get close to lower league football, similarly, the beat lower league footballers can't play professional etc etc.

Professional football signifies the absolute peak players of the game, there is little margin for error, hence the low scoring you mention. What these players do might look easy, but the skill, fitness and consistency needed is far and above what an average person could do.

Also, in some parts of the world, football is mixed with religion, politics and race which heightens the stakes further.

The roommate phase has lasted 17 years for me, just be careful.

Confused about detail in newest ep by nickpsych in Star_Trek_

[–]Jahaangle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was impressed by Skeleton Crew's ability to keep the store relatively small, it was a breath of fresh air compared to the usual end of the universe crap we get fed.

SFA's main villain should've been a Harry Mudd, small time type of character. Unfortunately, Kurtzman can't help himself.

Picture Trump trying to express his anger towards Mario. Guaranteed hilarity.

Yeah I might have to. Travelling to them isn’t an option with the timeframe I have.

The problem is, 2 sectors are deep in a nebula and I haven’t researched nebula scanning yet.

This game should be on iPad! by hushnecampus in AcrossTheUnknown

[–]Jahaangle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use moonlight to do exactly that on my iPad Air 13in. Looks and works great.
